i acquired a small piece of rock with some red fluff on it so I bought one of the turbos from JL's last week (I just asked Jack for a mexican turbo and he sold me one). I kept putting it on the rock daily and now the rock is clean of the red stuff. I suggest buying ONE and testing it on a piece of rock. If you have lots of the red fluff, manual extraction will greatly assist the snails. Do a water change and use a siphon hose to suck out the big clumps. They come off easily and use a filter sock on your overflow drain into your sump if you have one to stop the spread of small pieces. If you don't have a sump, maybe a filter sock with a powerhead pumping into it will work. But make sure you wash out the filter sock daily to minimize nitrate buildup. good luck |
Chin, thanks for the note. I have been siphoning and, although Jeff at J&L said his turbos wouldn't eat this stuff, I bought 2 and have been putting them on the red stuff. We'll see how it goes.

I can confirm that the Turbo snails I got from J & L definately eat the red cotton algae. They will eat a section the same size as the snail in about 20 minutes. Unbelievable.
